2 ISDE was founded with the goal of completing the education of law graduates so as to provide society with highly qualified lawyers who are able to respond with professionalism and integrity to the demands of the different areas of specialisation. Since then, ISDE has grown and developed, as has its offering of Masters programmes and its commitment to preparing lawyers to assume important responsibilities in today s society. message from the Chancellor of isde mr. José Juan Pintó Ruiz

5 Letter from the Director of ISDE Mr. Juan José Sánchez Puig The ver y etymology of the word Master embodies the philosophy underpinning ISDE s educational objective, where the student is the focal point and the absolute protagonist. All of our resources and effor ts are focused on achieving this objective, which is to ensure that the student has mastered the subject matter by the end of the programme. Par tnerships with the leading figures in the world of law and business, a proven training method, the personal attention of the teaching and coordination team, and all of our technical and human resources are placed at the disposal of our students in our quest to ensure that the programmes achieve their utmost educational goals and make the time and effor t devoted to them wor th the while. Throughout the years, we have striven and succeeded in ensuring that our students not only acquire the most upto-date knowledge, but that they also accomplish their personal and professional development goals through the acquisition of skills and competencies that lay the foundation for a new stage in their careers. The sum of the effor ts of the ISDE and its students without whose commitment the most qualified staff or technical resources would serve no purpose- has made us proud to see how those who trusted us with their training needs have gone on to enjoy highly successful careers and to occupy the senior positions they so brilliantly and so efficiently prepared themselves for. Loyalty to the spirit and methods that have earned us the trust of thousands of students, and continuous upgrading and improvement of our training methods, have placed us at the forefront of our field, as evidenced by our performance in independent rankings. The accomplishment of these objectives in recent years has driven us to never lose sight of the fact that our goal is the success of our students. 5

9 Double masters. Admission to the Practice of Law and Specialisation in International Law, Foreign Trade and International Relations introduction We at ISDE, whose pioneering commitment to the integration of students in law firms inspired the creation of the new Masters in Admission to the Practice of Law, believe that although the programme provides the practical training essential for the practice of the profession, there are two aspects that it does not fully cover: specialisation and training for the practice of international law. Our proven experience in the field prompted us to consider the introduction of a programme that would complete the Masters in Admission to the Practice of Law, which we provide in conjunction with the prestigious Carlos III University of Madrid. The formula for achieving this goal for an institution of the calibre of ISDE is as simple as it is essential: the Masters in Admission to the Practice of Law is now provided together with the best private Masters degrees, given that the specialist programmes that ISDE has been offering for years have earned it a place in the most important Spanish and international rankings. The result is a masters that is unique in the sector, and which has the added benefit of a second practical training stage during which the student will become a real member of the ecosystem of a law firm, not a mere observer. The combination of two highly prestigious Masters programmes, together with the specialisation and international experience that leading law firms require today will give graduates a competitive advantage when seeking employment in the legal market. 9

10 objective The objective of this double Masters degree is to prepare students to meet the requirements of major law firms today. This means providing specialised training geared towards the practice of international law. Globalisation had had an undeniable impact on the field of law and also on the practice of law. The training of a top lawyer should take account of the needs underlying this phenomenon, which tends to bring together the different known legal systems through the approximation of the different legal institutions. The progressive publification of law is giving rise to increasing legal complexity. This, in turn, creates the need for specialists capable of meeting the demands of customers in a timely manner. And this specialisation must come about through appropriate training in the fundamentals of law and a comprehensive over view thereof. Accordingly, students choosing to pursue a double Masters degree will obtain a double benefit: On the one hand, completion of the best Masters in Admission to the Practice of Law, which ISDE offers in conjunction with the prestigious Carlos III University of Madrid. This ensures that students obtain an in-depth understanding of the practical knowledge required by the new admissions system and have a greater likelihood of passing the national examination for admission to the profession. On the other hand, our specialised international Masters programmes, where the student will have the oppor tunity to be par t of a small group comprised of national and foreign students and professors, is designed to prepare students for entr y into their choice of specialisation. In this sense, the programme was born with a clear objective: to transmit a mechanism of legal reasoning and, consequently, preparation in all areas of legal practice, with the aim of gradually aspiring to specialisation. Moreover, the student will also receive instr uction in international relations and foreign trade, so necessar y nowadays on account of the present-day world economic system. 10

11 methodology The Masters in Admission to the Practice of Law complies with the structure set out in Law 34/2006 of 30 October. The academic year will be devoted to gaining the general command of the legal profession required by said law through a programme comprised of a number of compulsory subjects and some optional intensive ones. The faculty staff of this stage of the programme is comprised of professoriate from Carlos III University and senior professionals from leading law firms chosen from among the staff that has spent years training ISDE students. In addition to the Masters in Admission to the Practice of Law, students taking the double Masters will also attend classes in their chosen area of specialisation, all of which are given by prestigious and reputable professionals from leading law firms and using the methodology that has earned ISDE a place in the most prestigious national and international rankings. Finally, the student receives practical work experience in his or her chosen area of specialisation within one of our partner law firms. The work experience programme provides graduates with an opportunity for real integration into the host company, and the student will be treated as just another member of staff right from the start. Thanks to the double Masters, students will receive the best possible training to pass the admissions examination for the practice of law, as well as the opportunity to work in their chosen area of specialisation within a leading national or international law firm. 11

14 academic Program (Second Phase) PRACTICUM By the end of the first stage of the programme, students will be equipped with the tools and instruments required to practice law. To further hone their skills and to demonstrate their practical knowledge, students will work in a national or international law firm during the second stage of the programme. In the firm, they will be mentored by a lawyer-tutor who will acquaint them with the work of a law firm and the legal matters in which the student will be involved. The company where students will perform their work experience is determined by the Masters programme director on the basis of the student s academic performance, personal profile and the requirements of the law firm itself. As a result, the success of the work experience programme and effective student orientation are assured. FINAL PROJECT Through the Master's Final Project, students have the opportunity to deepen the study of a topic of interest, applying knowledge and ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within wider contexts related to their area of study. The final project will be able to integrate knowledge and handle the complexity of formulating judgments based on information that is incomplete or limited, including considerations on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments. 14

Native Spanish-speakers will be required to have a good command of spoken and written English and non-spanish speaking applicants will have to demonstrate that their knowledge of spoken and written Spanish is at least equivalent to the B2 DELE level (Diploma de Español como lengua extranjera) awarded by the Instituto Cervantes. Applicants with basic language skills, but which do not meet the minimum levels required may be provisionally accepted on condition that they take an intensive course in the relevant language to achieve the minimum required level. Foreign students should bear in mind that the Ministry of Justice of the Kingdom of Spain has not yet taken a decision as to their possible participation in the entrance examination and the practice of the profession in Spain. Applications may be sent electronically or by ordinary mail. Applications and the required documentation should be sent to the or postal address of ISDE's Admissions Department. The decision to admit an applicant rests with the Masters Academic Committee. Students will be selected on the basis of the documentation provided with the application. This will include: - A Curriculum Vitae - A copy of the Bachelor of Law or BA in Law degree, or the appropriate certificate. Applicants who are currently completing their final year of study and expect to graduate before the deadline for registration must indicate the graduation date in their application form and may be provisionally accepted on the programme.

Carlos III University of Madrid and ISDE do not initially intend to set any special entrance examination for admission to the Masters. Nevertheless, depending on the number of applications received, the Masters Academic Commission may decide to set a specific written examination consisting of a questionnaire with a number of multiple-choice questions, the content of which will be related to the legal skills set out in Article 3 of the regulation implementing Law 34/2006. The Commission will prepare: - A list of the students admitted - A waiting list of the applicants who may be admitted if the candidates who were accepted do not accept their place - A list of the students not admitted.
